Ford S-MAX 1.8 Turbo Diesel 2007

2 star review

I have had this car for just over 3 years from new and potentially a great car. I have done 80k, but in that time the following problems, seen so many times on Ford blogs. 1. Hesitation when accelerating, so dangerous at a roundabout. 2. New steering rack, the old one disintegrated internally but no contribution from Ford Cost over £1.1k .3. Heater Directional cable now broken, heat only on face and screen. Quoted £1,200 to fix it by local Ford dealer. Feet freezing. 4. Bonnet Cable ceased could not check Oil or fill washer bottle. 5. Blows rear bulbs for fun, must change a stop & tail bulb every 6 weeks. So bad I now change them both every time. However the car is a dream to drive, especially long distances, is very economical at 48mpg average over 5kmls, and has the carrying capacity of the Tardis without sacrificing handling. My verdict, a frustratingly, costly, brilliant,vehicle. Only buy if you have deep pockets !

Ford S-MAX 2.0 Zetec 2007

1 star review

This car has been nothing but trouble since its first winter. The problem with the alarm module was not fixed despite having it replaced. There was a problem with the battery draining itself constantly. This took 2 dealers and 6 weeks to fix. Now the car has completely packed up with an immobiliser problem and ’Engine malfunction ’ problem. Now waiting fot the AA to tow it to the garage again. As soon as it is fixed I will be getting rid of it.

Ford S-MAX 1.8 TDCi Zetec 2007

5 star review

Just had my s-max for two and a half years and am going to swap for it a 2 litre titanium version after much anguish over what to replace a fabulous car with. I have had Fords in the past and they never quite lived upto expectations. The S-Max always has. Yes, I have had quite a few niggly faults including two alarms sounders and two heated front winscreens, but my local dealer has been brilliant. Ultimately when you get in a car you want to be sure it will start and get you where you want to go. This people carrier does it with aplomb and if the mood takes it eats up the twist roads like no other people carrier and never fails to put a smile on my face. Yes, the build quility isn’t quite up to Toyota standard, but then toyotas don’t drive like a Ford. If the build issues could be sorted this would be a six star car. I have no hesitation in recommending this car to family drivers just make sure you use a good Ford dealer like the one in my area.
